I think this Jim_Trent is too nutty, he believes everything he reads in the Internet, it doesn't matter who wrote it. Having been around all sort aircrafts, me don't think it's easy to restore a Vulcan B.2 to fight a war that quick.

Tommyjo, do you know how many Vulcan B.2 was in service before start of the Falkland war?

The four squadrons at RAF Waddington had 8 aircraft each. Out of those 32 airframes 10 were chosen to be made fully ready for use in the conflict. The RAF was in the process of retiring the Vulcans by the summer of 1982.
